a major attack into Rafah

protecting the civilians that
are in that battlespace, Lloyd Austin, United States Defense Secretary, via Al Jazeera.
We’ve not made a final
determination on how
to proceed with that
shipment [of weapons], Lloyd Austin, United States Defense Secretary, via Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera reports that the paused shipment included
1,800 bombs weighing approximately 2,000 lbs each,

In a violent crackdown during International Quds Day, Nigerian security forces opened fire on pro-Palestinian protesters in Abuja, killing at least 19 people and injuring dozens more. Video footage from the scene shows armed forces securing the perimeter as demonstrators flee, with some being dragged lifeless into trucks by soldiers. This violent suppression follows a pattern of force used against Quds Day demonstrators in previous years, sparking outrage and concern from human rights organizations. The Nigerian government had previously warned of potential unrest, citing concerns over the protesters' demands for justice in support of Palestine. This tragic event has left many questioning the Nigerian government's response to peaceful demonstrations and the growing tension surrounding global solidarity for Palestine.
